This document specifies the European Standards to which products have to conform in order to support the claims for microbicidal activity which are referred to in this document.
This document also specifies terms and definitions which are used in European Standards.
It is applicable to products for which activity is claimed against the following microorganisms: vegetative bacteria (including mycobacteria and Legionella), bacterial spores, yeasts, fungal spores and viruses (including bacteriophages).
It is intended to:
a) enable manufacturers of products to select the appropriate standards to be used in order to provide data which support their claims for a specific product;
b) enable users of the product to assess the information provided by the manufacturer in relation to the use for which they intend to use the product;
c) assist regulatory authorities in assessing claims made by the manufacturer or by the person responsible for placing the product on the market.
It is applicable to products to be used in the area of human medicine, the veterinary area and in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas.
In the area of human medicine (Working Group 1, i.e. WG 1), it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in areas and situations where disinfection or antisepsis is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care
— in hospitals, in community medical facilities, dental institutions and medical laboratories for analyses and research,
— in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes,
— and may also occur in the workplace and in the home. It may also include services such as in laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patient.
In the veterinary area (WG 2) it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in the areas of breeding, husbandry, veterinary care facilities, production, transport and disposal of animals and veterinary laboratories for analyses and research. It is not applicable to chemical disinfectants used in the food chain following death and entry to the processing industry.
In food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas (WG 3) it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in processing, distribution and retailing of food of animal or vegetable origin. It is also applicable to products for all public areas where disinfection is not medically indicated (homes, catering, schools, nurseries, transports, hotels, offices etc.) and products used in packaging, biotechnology, laboratories (except laboratories for veterinary and medical analyses and research), pharmaceutical, cosmetic etc. industries.
This document is also applicable to active substances and products under development for which no area of application has yet been specified.
This document will be periodically updated to reflect the current published versions of each standard developed in CEN/TC 216. Independent of this update newly published standards are to be used, even if they are not yet mentioned in EN 14885.
This document does not refer to methods for testing the toxicological and ecotoxicological properties of products or active substances.

This document specifies methods for keeping test organisms used and defined in European Standards for the determination of bactericidal (incl. Legionella pneumophila), mycobactericidal, sporicidal, fungicidal and virucidal (incl. bacteriophages) activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics drawn up by CEN/TC 216. These methods for keeping test organisms can only be carried out in connection with at least one of those standards where a reference to this document is established.
NOTE 1 Annex A (informative) contains a non-exhaustive list of test organisms for which this document can be applied.
NOTE 2 European Standards (EN) where this document is referenced are listed in the Bibliography.
NOTE 3 A specific description on the preservation of bacterial spores could be added once the results of the ongoing ring trials are available.

This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal and yeasticidal and additionally fungicidal activity of chemical disinfectant products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water - or in the case of ready-to-use products - with water.
NOTE Dilutions are necessary as three concentrations in the active to non-active range are tested.
This document applies to products that are used in the medical area for disinfecting non-porous surfaces without mechanical action.
This document applies to areas and situations where disinfection or antisepsis is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care, for example:
- in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions;
- in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes;
and can occur in the workplace and in the home. It can also include services such as laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patients.
EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to use recommendations.
Using this document, it is possible to determine the activity of products like commercial formulations or active substances on bacteria and/or fungi in the conditions in which they are used and therefore it corresponds to a phase 2, step 2 test.
This method excludes the evaluation of the activity of products against mycobacteria and bacterial spores.

The test methods described are designed to determine the disinfectant activity of processes used in the 1) medical area, 2) veterinary area, 3) food, industrial, domestic and institutional area using automated processes for distributing chemicals by air diffusion with no operator manually applying the disinfectant. This document covers the disinfection of nonporous surfaces but not that of the air.
The objective of the described processes is to disinfect the surfaces of the overall area including the external surfaces of the equipment contained in such rooms. Air handling and products or processes specifically designed for the disinfection of medical devices are excluded from the scope of this document. The test methods and volumes described provide a defined challenge.
This document is applicable to processes for which activity is claimed against the following groups of microorganisms:
— vegetative bacteria,
— mycobacteria,
— bacterial spores,
— yeasts,
— fungal spores,
— viruses,
— bacteriophages.
This document does not cover processes for which the mode of action is based on immersing and/or circulation, flooding, spraying, wiping or other processes where the product is directly applied to the surfaces and not via air dispersion.
